WELCOME! We are followers of FLYLADY principles for decluttering our homes, as well as WEIGHT WATCHER guidelines for healthy lifestyle choices. We are working on consistent, daily steps to achieve our goals.
Food, activity, sleep, and mindset. These are the four pillars of WW’s approach to weight loss.
We are in Zone 4: The Master Bedroom
June Habit: Drinking Water
You’re never too late to get something done.

Good morning and a special good morning to cathygeha who posted yesterday. I hope you saw my answer to your question. I am sitting outside enjoying my screen porch and the lovely shade of the trees before the humidity becomes unbearable.
My to do list is basically the same. I am finding that I’m getting into a slump when it comes to getting things done. I really had planned my retirement to be different when it came to having a daily plan and at first I was on fire but recently I find myself surfing the net too much. Time to make a change and Monday is a great day to do it.
Monday possibilities:
—work on homework for my Bible studies🧚♂️
—find some live continuing education seminars for my license
—practice 🎹🧚♂️
—take care of plants (I can’t believe they put up with me)🧚♂️
—dust and vacuum main living area (I know we’re in the Master Bedroom but I need to get this done first)

Last night I * put away clothes that had been washed
* realized that I need a linen ROOM for the items not in use * organized the bathroom counter and other surfaces in the Master Bedroom.
Today:
* The dishwasher is running * I will work a bit more in the Master Bedroom * Will tackle a project in the basement - rats got in and it needs to be cleaned up IF the rats are dead but not until they are or it will all have to be done again

Good morning. I am so happy I got the plants replanted. They are ones I clipped from a plant a friend gave me that she has been making clips from for friends. She received the original plant over 38 years ago after the death of her young son so the plant means a lot to me. I had told her I would keep it going in honor of her son. I have one more clip to replant that I rooted and two other plants that need replanting.
Tuesday possibilities:
—practice 🎹
—zoom meeting with a prior co-worker🧚♂️
—zoom Bible study tonight🧚♂️
—declutter flat services in living room and kitchen
—laundry (already started)🧚♂️
—still need to vacuum but the Roomba wouldn’t work🧚♂️
—plan meals
—grocery shopping🧚♂️

* sink is clean - will unload and reload dishwasher * rat check verified no rats in traps so will clean the space tomorrow * One side of the bed is dealt with BUT the other side is piled high with winter blankets. I believe they will be moved to a space in another room where a mattress was removed and put on top of the board at the bottom of the bed frame since a linen cupboard doesn't exist.
Still working on babysteps

Wednesday posibilities:
—dr. appt.🧚♂️
—make lemon/blueberry pound cake for Bible study🍋
—wash dishes from baking🧚♂️
—Bible study🧚♂️

I just realized, we now have 2 Cathy's in our thread! So, good morning Cathy x 2! cathygeha , thanks for the reminder to hydrate! It's even more important with our heat wave. And it's the Flylady monthly habit for June, as well. I tend to neglect this, but will make the effort today. Friday possibilities: --birds & squirrels✅ --chiropractor✅ --check on Old House (yard) & pay lawn guy✅ he didn't mow yet (phoned me yesterday....grrrr), but I left payment for him, since I had driven all the way over there.--walk (weather permitting) or workout and hydrate! ✅ 20 mile bike ride, but I didn't get to any decluttering...--declutter closet area --declutter email --research some music --wind down!✅ dinner was very late because we got home late from the bike ride, but I did make the effort to quiet my mind before bed
Be well! Carol |
